New opinion piece in @TrendsMicrobiol @CellPressNews A microbial matter close to my heart: the role of #Endozoicomonas#corals@marenziegler.bsky.social and I synthesized evidence from diverse studies, concluding corals and Endoz may not be the dream team we make them out to be 🧫🪸 👇🏻

#SymbioSky#MicroSky

In brief: 🧫Endozoicomonas is the most prevalent bacterium associated with Cnidaria and known to codiversify with coral hosts. 🪸Due to high abundances of Endozoicomonas in corals, they are presumed key mutualists of coral.

Very nice work! :-)
